FAQ

• Why do we need an HOA? The HOA was established and registered with the county in 1995 when the street was completed to maintain the private drive, the fence, and the entrance. When you purchased the home in this area, you agreed to be a member and join. If one does not pay, the dues will stay with the house.

• What is the HOA responsible for?  The HOA is responsible for common area maintenance. This includes not only plants, but also the fence along 206th and the private drive. With the $50 annual dues, it's difficult to allocate sufficient funds for road or fence repairs. The neighboring HOA “Amberview” has had issues collecting funds for the repair of their fence due to no reserve being setup (They have more landscaping and irrigation to pay for as well).

• How are funds used? See the Payments & Accounting page. In addition to having the balances of lots published online, receipts for expenses related to the common areas will also be posted here. Scroll down to the bottom of the Spreadsheet and you'll see tabs for previous years receipts. 

• Funds for non common area use? Until a sufficient reserve is setup (and unless the majority of members wish it) the shared dumpsters and HOA funded activities will be suspended. 

• What personal information of mine is posted to the website?  No personal information (name, phone number or email addresses of other members) is posted to the website.

• Street Parking: 

  • • NO Parking On NE 86th Place: 86th is a no parking zone due to the restricted access for fire trucks. Due to the narrow size, city requirements need to be met to allow safe passage of emergency access vehicles

• • Please remember, cars must be parked at least 10 feet away from a fire hydrant.

  • Please help our street cleaners do their job by moving cars off the street when possible. Officially, it is against Hillsboro Municipal Code 8.12.030 for a car to remain parked in the same place more than 72 consecutive hours.

• Boats, Trailers, and Campers:  For normal storage, please keep these items from view so they do not present any safety issues or become neighborhood eye sores. Loading and unloading for a few days would be acceptable to most; however, if there is some circumstance preventing you from moving it for proper long term storage, please contact us.

• • ARTICLE IX Building Location Section 3. Recreational vehicles and boats may not be parked or stored on any of the streets and roads within the subdivision, but are permitted to be parked and stored within the permitted side and/or rear yards, if properly screened from all other lots with a six foot high cedar fence.

• Proper Lawn and Garden Maintenance: To keep the walkways safe and the neighborhood looking good, keep lawn grass short, weeds down and branches from overhanging the walk ways.
